How to get the right size
A tall riding boot is not chosen by shoe size alone. Three measurements are needed, and this is exactly what prevents the most returns:
- Foot length, in centimeters, measured from toe to heel while standing.
- Calf circumference, at the widest part, wearing your riding breeches and the socks you intend to use.
- Height, from the floor to just below the knee, sitting with your leg bent at a right angle.
Measure yourself in the afternoon: your foot and calf swell throughout the day and that is the real measurement you will be riding with. A leather boot stretches slightly in circumference with use, but it does not stretch in foot length or height, so it is best not to force those two.
Leather care
Remove mud as soon as you finish riding, before it dries: when dry, it pulls the oil out of the leather as it flakes off. Clean with a damp cloth and, from time to time, apply a specific leather conditioning product.
Let them dry away from radiators and direct sunlight: dry heat cracks the leather. Store them upright with boot trees or shapers so the shaft does not collapse.
Frequently asked questions
Why do riding boots have a heel?
It is a safety measure: the heel prevents the foot from slipping and passing through the stirrup, which is what can cause a rider to get caught in the event of a fall.
Do they stretch?
Leather gives slightly in calf circumference with use, and the shaft drops a few millimeters when the ankle creases form. They do not stretch in foot length, so do not compensate for a short size hoping they will stretch.
How long do they take to break in?
It depends on the leather and the usage, but it is best to keep the first sessions short. A new boot feels tight at the instep and behind the knee until it develops its creases.
